Wu on the History of Birthright Citizenship

Frank Wu has published an op-ed piece in The Recorder titled, "A Historic Right to Birthright Citizenship" (Sept. 3, 2010). The article reminds contemporary lawyers that a powerful legal argument based on principle managed to persuade a racially unsympathetic Supreme Court to uphold the citizenship of Wong Kim Ark, the American-born son of Chinese citizens.
